I don't understand the Reagan criticism

Recently, two readers have written letters criticizing Ronald Reagan. I have defended him here in the past so I won't belabor that issue. We all know the truth. My question is, why are these readers concerning themselves with a man who has not been president for 25 years and who has been dead for 10 years?

The only logical explanation is that they are so embarrassed by the current president that they need to create a diversion by bashing a guy who, like it or not, is one of our top five. And the way things are looking, he won't get knocked off that list any time soon.
